  • Episode 24: Keynote -- Pattie Maes

    Speakers: Pattie Maes

    The ooPSLA 2007 keynote series closed

    with Pattie Maes talking about
    Meta-Objects for the World Around Us.
    Her talk was a fitting bookend to Kiczales's address in the morning,
    as Maes described ongoing work at the MIT Media Lab to make available
    all of the information available to people when they need it as they
    live their lives -- "users" using data and services in context.

    Maes's topic also offered a fitting close to

    ooPSLA, which has always ultimately
    been about making the world a better place through programs, systems,
    languages, and applications.

  • Episode 23: Keynote -- Gregor Kiczales

    Speakers: Gregor Kiczales

    The third and final day of ooPSLA 2007

    began with Gregor Kiczales speaking about a theme that has underlay
    his work throughout the years, from the metaobject protocol and
    objects to aspect-oriented programming: the role played by context
    in how people see software when they come to it as developer,
    user, maintainer, and extender. His keynote address was titled
    Context, Perspective and Programs.

  • Episode 22: Keynote -- David Lorge Parnas

    Speakers: David Lorge Parnas

    A day of pioneers speaking at ooPSLA 2007

    ended with another seminal thinker in software engineering, David
    Parnas, talking about
    Precise Software Documentation:
    Making Object Orientation Work Better.
    In keeping with one of the longstanding themes of his work, Parnas
    argues that for a true separation of concerns, one that extends to
    documents we create for programmers and for people who will never
    read our code.

  • Episode 19: Keynote -- 50 in 50

    Speakers: Guy Steele & Richard Gabriel

    The first day of ooPSLA 2007 ended with

    treat, Guy Steele & Richard Gabriel talking about the lessons
    we can learn from Programming Languages past in
    50 in 50.

    If you've ever attended a talk by either Steele or Gabriel at an

    ooPSLA, then you know that their "talks"
    are so much more. This is the one ooPSLA
    keynote that probably loses some of its impact as a podcast, but we
    think you'll want to hear it for its content!

  • Episode 15: The Eclipse Technology Exchange

    Guest: Cheryl Morris, Alex Orso, Li-Te Chang, Martin Robillard

    Host: Martin Lippert

    Over the last few years,

    Eclipse
    has grown from a simple little IDE into a platform for developing
    software that can be used at many levels of complexity.

    At OOPSLA 2002, IBM announced the first round of Eclipse Innovation

    Grants, which funded 49 academics and researchers to do explore
    the uses of Eclipse in their work. These projects expanded the
    base of the software platform, but it also created something
    just as valuable: personal experiences growing and using Eclipse
    for teaching and research.

    Then, at OOPSLA 2003, the grant recipients presented their

    results in the first Eclipse Technology Exchange (ETX) workshop.
    This year, the organizers return to ooPSLA
    for the
    fifth workshop
    in the series. It will be held on Sunday, October 21, the first
    day of workshops and tutorials.

    This year's workshop will focus on the use Eclipse as a platform in

    teaching and research. It provides academics and researchers an
    opportunity to share their results and to help others to build on
    these experiences.

    In addition to experience reports, the fifth ETX offers an opening

    keynote address by Jeff McAffer, IBM Rational, titled "Equinox --
    Trends in Eclipse as a Runtime". Jeff leads the Eclipse Equinox OSGi
    team in "forging new ground for Eclipse as a runtime", seeking to
    do for the server what Eclipse has already done to client-side
    tool development.

    In this podcast, Martin Lippert of Software Engineering Radio

    chats with the organizers of the 2007 ETX organizers at
    ooPSLA -- Cheryl Morris (IBM
    Toronto), Alex Orso (Georgia Tech), Li-Te Chang (IBM Cambridge),
    and Martin Robillard (McGill University) -- to talk first about
    the history of the ETX workshops and poster sessions and then
    about some of the exciting elements of this year's workshop
    program.
